Touching moment Eagles give Super Bowl tickets to best friend of slain New Orleans terror attack victim Tiger Bech

The Eagles made a hugely touching gesture this week as they invited a survivor of the New Orleans terror attack to next Sunday’s Super Bowl LIX.

Ryan Quigley suffered serious injuries during the New Year’s Day terror attack – in which a terrorist drove his car through crowds of people on Bourbon Street – while his best friend and former Princeton football teammate Tiger Bech was one of the 14 people to lose their lives.

Quigley is now set to return to New Orleans as the Eagles take on the Chiefs, as he was presented with a pair of tickets by defensive end Brandon Graham in a heartwarming moment.

In the clip, posted to the Eagles’ official X account, Graham and Quigley share an emotional hug after the terror victim accepted the team’s invite to go to the game.

Quigley shared that Bech was a huge Eagles fan and that the pair went to every Eagles fan last season.

‘After every win… I told him if we make it, I promise I’m going to take you to the Super Bowl,’ Quigley said. ‘So I would love nothing more than to still take him.’

Quigley and Tiger’s sister, Ginnie, previously attended the Eagles’ divisional round playoff win over the Rams, and was able to meet several Eagles players, including Saquon Barkley and franchise legend Jason Kelce.

He was later invited to the Eagles’ facility for a visit this week, before Graham surprised him in a hallway and told him the purpose of the visit was to gift him to two tickets.

Ginnie was also present with Quigley during the emotional meeting and gave Graham a hug, as she thanked the Eagles for allowing the Bech family to ‘rewrite’ Tiger’s story.

‘He would’ve loved nothing more than to be there, I’m gonna make sure he’s there with us,’ Quigley added earlier in the video. ‘I’m sharing his story.’

The 27-year-old Bech died on New Year’s Day at a New Orleans hospital, according to local media outlets citing Kim Broussard, the athletic director at St. Thomas More Catholic High.

He graduated from Princeton in 2021, and was most recently he was working as an investment trader at a New York brokerage firm Seaport Global.

The driver of the truck, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was fatally sH๏τ in a firefight with police after steering his speeding truck around a barricade and slamming into the crowd. About 30 people were injured.
